Commercial Composing
and Producing
with Daniel Platzman
Platz composes music for film, television, commercial, and new media projects. He specializes in genre-blending and developing music as a supporting character in the overall story being told. As an accomplished multi-instrumentalist in his own right, Platz has a deep understanding of how each instrument contributes to scores and often lends his own playing abilities to projects in addition to directing other musicians.
Platz owns a custom-built studio on his property, designed as a concrete monolithic dome structure. Platz was inspired by the shape and sound of drums and specifically designed the studio to look like an upside-down drum. Builders inflated a balloon to the exact dimensions of the dome, inserted reinforcing bars inside, then sprayed concrete inside to complete the structure.
Inside the studio, Platz designed the space for microphones are permanently installed at the top of the dome to create expansive, cinematic sounds. The entire space is intended to offer ease for both spontaneous creation and more dialed-in, traditional recording experiences. Adjustable colored lighting completes the immersive space, providing a full-blown sensory experience.
